Break the Frame: Composing Movement in Real Time w/ Jordan Lloyd, Jenna Riegel, & Jessie Young

What does it mean to make right now, in our current body, world, and moment? Diving into the messy, dynamic, and urgent act of composing movement, this class will respond to the cultural contexts of our time, the spaces we inhabit, and the community we cultivate. Not about perfection, instead we will lean heavily into curiosity, experimentation, multiplicities of meanings, unobvious answers, and the magic of alchemy. Each bringing our own unique perspectives and approaches into active collaboration, this course will be co-taught by Jordan Demetrius Lloyd, Jenna Riegel, and Jessie Young. Our interactive pedagogies will become a part of the composition, a live dialogue unfolding in the room in real time. Our shared spontaneous exchanges will model the very essence of the work—fluid, responsive, and deeply engaged with the moment! Together we will discover collective approaches to process, practicing listening to the interrelations of each passing moment.
